Is anyone else having trouble connecting?

Post by BlackMonarch

Sunday, October 7. Rolling restarts began at 10:00 AM Pacific time. I logged out with a minute to spare. I went to use the bathroom. When I came back and tried to log back in, I got stuck at the "Connecting" stage :(

Is this just me?

No, I am having the same issue as well.

I'm stuck at connecting as well. Login server broke because friends in vent are online.

Well then, perfect time to get back into Minecraft...

Same issue. I believe restarts were yesterday though?

Yeah, I'm having the same issue. Left, did dishes, paid bills, picked up a bit, and made lunch.. still no game. Guess I'll keep checking back. :) Maybe they are working on some of the glitches in the dungeons. :)

Let it sit at "connecting". You'll get in sooner if you let it sit than if you keep canceling and then trying again, that is, if this is the same issue they had last week after Friday's restart.

Okay, 'glad' to see it's not just me.

Wonder what they broke this time?

They seem to know about it and are working on it, message says they'll give update within the hour.

Bloody annoying. Can Bliz not do this in the middle of the night instead of late morning? Not only that, nearly every time they say should be up in x hour, it's way more than the time they tell. :@

Same issue here, including the lunch break :) Apparently it's a system-wide problem. There's a post in the official forums here, mostly full of whiners:

One poster said their character selection screen came up after about 25 minutes of "Connecting..." so maybe the servers are just overwhelmed. Would be nice to have a blue post with an explanation but what can you do? Maybe this is a sign I should get some work done around the house!

It's Sunday, my bet is it takes longer for them to fix it. I have to think their best people work M-F; i bet they are getting phone calls right now.

Supposedly the servers have been hacked. The hacker is able to walk around insta-killing everyone,including friendly NPCs.

^that's what he did to Tichondrius. It was not contained to that realm alone - Proudmoore, Fizzcrank, Staghelm, Nathrezim were also effected somehow (whether it's mass death like in Tichondrius or other things, I don't know). I also don't know how many people were doing it, if it's just one guy or lots. But it was obviously a problem.

Auth servers are down while they address it - my guess is they've found the account and are searching for any other dummy accounts this person's set up after this one was inevitably busted.

IT problems are in 1-hour blocks. If you tell IT they have 6 hours, they'll take 6 hours. If you tell them 1 hour, perhaps it can be fixed in 3 hours. Business face versus reality, 180 degrees off.

Actually, it wasn't a GM... some players apparently discovered something that allowed them to instakill Cata raid bosses. Their friend got banned for it, so they started ganking entire cities.

I'm in! I don't know if they're still fixing it, but I had to wait a whole 5 seconds this time.
